Fortuna council to meet Monday

It will be another weed-filled meeting for the Fortuna City Council Monday.

The council will hold two public hearings at its regular meeting. The first will be to assess the cost and authorize a lien on a property for weed abatement at 291 Orchard Land, and the second will be to authorize weed abatement at 3201 Church Street.

A lien is a legal claim or hold over a piece of property for debt or restitution purposes.

In other matters, the council will be asked to approve a due diligence review, which will determine whether any unspent money in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund can be remitted to the county auditor controller, said Finance Director Gary Chapman. The council will also be asked to approve $8,000 to pay for audit expenses approved by an oversight board on Sept. 26.
